Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀναίτιος [page 34]
Syll 816 .7 ἐγχέαντας αὐτῆς τὸ ἀναίτιον αἷμα ἀδίκως , ib. 12 ἵνα ἐγδικήσῃς τὸ αἷμα τὸ ἀναίτιον . This interesting inscription, containing phrases from the LXX, is given by Dittenberger as of Jewish or Christian origin. The latter alternative has been rightly excluded, since there is no sign of the NT visible. The prayer is a Jewish prayer for vengeance belonging to the end of the second, or the beginning of the first century B.C. See the full discussion in Deissmann LAE , p. 423 ff., and note the remarkably similar but pagan prayer from Alexandria in Preisigke 1323 (ii/A.D.).
